    It may be most likely but the firing vavle is also a less likely possiblity. Easily tested by closing the bolt, and seeling if a soapy film on the muzzle/silencer causes bubbles.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. But not lathes. I have too many lathes. Thanks, JB.

    stick some soapy water or WD40 around the seal at the rear of the cylinder.
    Also check balloon over muzzle with bolt closed.

    Makes sense to isolate the leak before struggling with a tricky removal..
